The Second Coming...

With all these really cool DB and DBW maps on the way, I've decided that I'm going to start work on the second DB Ownage Map Pack. This time I plan to be more organised, and to let the public have a more major role in deciding what maps are in.

I will be looking at all the DB and DBW maps that are in development, or have already been finished. The maps that prove to be fun, and of good quality will be make it in. There can be some exceptions. It will heavily depend on what the majority want. Polls will be used to help with this.

I'll be looking at each map in detail (quite possibly in review form), looking at the pros and cons. I'll probably make each review a seperate thread with a poll, giving the public the opportunity to vote whether or not they want the map in the second DB Ownage Map Pack.

This is the list of maps I have planned to review so far, any maps written in bold letters have already been reviewed and you can find them at the link next to it.

If anyone has a map that I haven't reviewed, and they think it should be in, then post it here in this thread (with a URL, and preferably some screenshots).

People who are presently mapping do not need to rush themselves, I am setting an end date for any map submissions. I will be accepting all submissions until the 18th of December. After that set date I will compile the pack, and release it on the 25th of December.

If by the set submission date, a couple of people need just a few days more to finish work on their maps, I CAN make extensions, provided that they contact me and let me know when I can expect them.

If by the compilation date I haven't got a satisfactory number of maps, I will probably push the submissions date to sometime in late January.

I look forward to seeing what sort of maps I will be presented within the next month. Get to work mappers.

I thought DBW-River was being released with the next DBW version?

when will this map pack be released?

Armagon · Post by **Armagon** » 13-11-2003 12:58

I quite clearly said in my first post that the pack is intended for release on the 25th of December. That date may change if an author asks for an extension to finish his map, or there aren't enough maps for the pack.

Sweet jesus...that buggy POS counts as 0wnage?

I'll have to try and iron all the bugs out by Christmas I guess. I'll see if I can dig out the gametype source from the charred wreckage of my old hard-drive as well, and fix all the shite in there

And thanks plaer for rearranging bits of Slamball so I couldn't score as easily. Cheat!

Lol Plaer, the reason I'm reviewing these maps is to find out if it is Ownage. It won't be declared Ownage unless the public want it in. Take your time, you have a full month before the submissions date is reached.

Slamball is imo one of the most entertaining and original db maps O_o
It's a new game kthx ;p
And it definitely needs some skill to get volleys in $\o/$

And I'm not just saying that because plaer pays me =\

I agree, the gameplay style is so different. I'll go into it further when I get around to reviewing it.

Armagon · Post by **Armagon** » 20-11-2003 03:25

With the way my reviews are going, it looks like I'm going to become an official reviewer on http://deathball.gameservers.net/

Remember, if you have any maps that you'd like reviewed just make your request here.
